why are atheists so stereotypical?
1) The Bible does not prove that God is not a Trinity. IT PROVES THE OPPOSITE! God's word goes to extensive measures to prove that Jesus, Jehovah and the Holy Spirit are ONE.
2) Muslims and Christians do not share the same God. The word may be the same in arabic, but they have Different Characteristics
Allah is not tri-unified (special word) nor is he intersted in a personal relationship with his people. God on the other hand, is and is.
3) Christians are treated badly all over the world. Do you honestly believe the hundreds of lives taken are taken in vain? that Christians are all ignorant morons? No man has yet paralleled Eistein and he was theistic. Try telling your boyfriend or girlfriend they're a moron for believing in Christ. Se how that goes...
sorry, just had to get that off my chest. and I wouldn't really suggest trying that last thing

Most Muslims, and some unitarian Christians believe that Jesus was a mere human prophet. By contrast, Jehovah's Witnesses are nontrinitarian Christians who teach that Jesus Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. But Jehovah's Witnesses recognize the bible truth that Jesus the Son is distinct from and not equal to God the Father (see Scriptures below).
Most Mormon religions (including LDS) believe somewhat similarly that Jesus is a god, and that "Jesus the Son" is a distinct person subject to "God the Father". However, Mormon beliefs about the identities of Jesus, Jehovah, and "the Father" are quite different from the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.
As mentioned above, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Dude. The fact that the bible says a thing, does not PROVE that thing is true. You DO understand that, dont you??
Christians are treated badly all over the world? Um, they're the single most popular religion on the planet. Sounds rough, huh?
I wouldnt tell my gf she was a moron for believing that Jesus is a god, because I wouldn't DATE anyone who such an undeveloped state of awareness.

1. Does not matter.
2. Sorry. The Koran says they are the same god, just as the New Testament claims to be about the same god in the Old Testament, despite how different they seem to be. I don't know why that bothers you so much.
3. People of all religions are treated badly all over the world. Why do you to make martyrs of those who are Christian?

Hey Rey
The religions you are talking about are all a derivate from the Egyptian religion.
The god's name is Aton. - whatever the Jews,Christians or Muslims prefer to call him.
And just to correct one thing: the bible doesn't prove anything.
Proof isn't found in any book - it is experienced.
sorry but that's reality for you.

Since you brought him up...
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."

I laughed at your first statement once I saw you implying that the bible PROVES anything about God. Saying the Bible offers any type of proof about God is utterly ridiculous. You have to ASSUME it was inspired by God, which means that anything it says about god can not therefore be logical proof of god in ANY way.
Many people have paralleled Einstein (which you misspelled), Stephen Hawking for example. Einstein's greatest work of his life was a failure (his "theory of everything"). He failed because he became to full of himself and refused to accept the laws of quantum physics.

first of all, Einstein was Jewish.
anyway none of the holey books PROVE anything. relying on a single source for hear-say and calling it evidence is just preposterous!

I am monotheistic and believe God is God and I don't think anybody is stereotypical.
